Sundance Resort

Owned by Robert Redford and known for its film festival, Sundance is uncrowded and offers top-notch skiing and atmosphere.

Reviewed By greenjay1 - Williams, Arizona

There's a lot going on at Sundance in the summer. Concerts, mountain biking, hiking, zip line and scenic chair lift. We really enjoyed the chair lift ($15/person). Parking is free. All the staff in the shops and adventures were super polite and friendly. Waitress in the Foundry restaurant, not so much. Nice way to spend an afternoon or couple days.

Timpanogos Cave National Monument

One of the sites in Utah for cave exploring.

Reviewed By Michael M - Corrales, New Mexico

Even though the path is paved, the hike up to the cave is challenging. Excited by opportunity to tour the three caves. Unfortunately, our tour guide was short on facts, history and anecdotes even though she said she had been giving cave tours since a teenager. Her knowledge of geology was very generalized. It was a bit of a disappointment to hike all that way only to have a mediocre tour guide. Hopefully, those of you who are reading this review will have better luck. Overall, Timpanogos Cave is worth the visit.

Hale Center Theater Orem

Reviewed By Ron B - Orem, Utah

Yes it is home grown. Yes it is a small theatre in the round. And YES it is better than Broadway! Yup, been to great theaters in NY, Houston, Portland, San Francisco, Austin, Moscow, Dar es Salaam, Salt Lake and Provo so as an ordinary guy I️ feel I know what I’m talking about when I️ say the Orem Hale is truly the best. We saw Hello Dolly. Best stage performance of this classic that we have seen. Amazing skills, voices, and choreography. You want the best in theatre, it’s right here in Orem.

Lindon Aquatics Center

Reviewed By freewaymaster - utah, usa

This place mostly for little kids. Some teen areas like the Lazy river or Flow rider. Too pricy though. We paid $267 for a Family season pass and they did not change the Operation hours sign. Only open until 6pm most days. Terrible Deal! We will NEVER have another pass again! Good place to go if you are bored.

This canyon is beautiful year round, but the fall is amazing. Late September and early October is our favorite time to make the drive, and to stop at multiple places to see the sights.

Coconut Cove

Reviewed By Rodney J

I had a surprise 70th birthday party at Coconut Cove. It was wonderful. While we adults talked, the grandchildren had an unforgettable experience playing on the abundant indoor playground equipment. My grandchildren loved it.
At every party the question arises, "How are you going to keep the children entertained?" Well Coconut Cove solves the problem for you. My grandchildren still talked about how much fun they had at my birthday party. I plan on having my next birthday party there also.

Brigham Young University

Reviewed By MickeysBestPal

We had a family gathering here and among our group was my mother who has difficulty walking. She has a handicap parking permit. We came on a Saturday afternoon and we could not find a single handicap parking spot that was available anywhere. All the visitor parking lots were full. I dropped my mother off as close to the campus as we could get and then I parked far away and hiked back.
BYU is enormous. It is a beautiful campus in a great location – surrounded by mountains. But they need more handicap accessible parking options.

La Belle Vie Salon & Spa

Reviewed By Michael S - Cathedral City, California

I recently had my hair cut by Kate Wessman at La Belle Vie Salon in Pleasant Grove, UT., and it was the BEST salon experience I've ever had. I actually enjoyed the whole process: Kate is a highly trained and wonderfully competent cosmetologist who has just enough savoir-faire to make you look and feel your best; she is genuinely committed to providing you with the best service possible (one that won't disappoint, like so many do in this industry). I would definitely suggest Kate Wessman at La Belle Vie Salon to anyone looking for a stylist, or haircut, in general. She is warm, friendly, and considerably skilled at her craft (she even used a hot towel, oil, and a straight-edge razor to clean up my neck!). I can't recommend her highly enough. Make your next hair appointment with Kate Wessman at La Belle Vie Salon! You'll be pleasantly surprised by what results.

American Fork Canyon

Reviewed By Raylene J - American Fork, Utah

With a lovely river, rich pines and furrs, oaks and aspens, Timpanogos Cave Nat'l Monument, Tibble Fork Reservoir, Timpooneke Trail, Bear Trail, Pine Hollow Trail, Mary Ellen Gulch, and numerous other 'attractions' for the lover of outdoor beauty, this beautiful canyon has it all. But with the increased traffic flow, and the threat of Snowbird Ski Resort building in Mineral Basin, this beauty is threatened to become a highway that's hard to maneuver. Ride bikes or hike in this canyon, carpool, and do what you can to preserve this oasis before it's gone.

We did the Ghostbusters experience. I love the idea. I love the cutting edge unique immersive entertainment. The execution, however, shows that there are still bugs that need to be worked out. We were a group of 4 going through the rooms. It was very cramped for 4 people, and 2 of our group were kids. We were bumping into each other. I was always afraid I was going to hit someone or something. They have to fix that. Also, there was significant lag at times between the actions I took and seeing those actions play out in the environment.
Most of all I was frustrated by the lack of instructions or directions. We were put into the room with no explanation of goals or purpose or what we were trying to achieve. It was Ghostbusters so I assumed we were supposed to shoot ghosts but at one point we were supposed to use a trap and had no idea how to do it. Then, at the end they showed us our scores and the scores said exactly what we were “supposed” to do. You are graded on some very specific game play such as how well you “trashed the rooms”. Well, I had no idea I was supposed to be trashing the room. That was not intuitive by any measure. So I ended the experience by being frustrated and felt they should have done some kind of instruction about what the game objectives were and how the gameplay functions.
In spite of the disappointment, I cannot help but appreciate how awesome it was to be able to walk freely through the environment without being tethered to anything. That was very very cool. And some of the effects came of very nicely. I can see that when the bugs get worked out this kind of entertainment will absolutely amazing and will be the new standard.
I am excited for the upcoming Star Wars experience and I will be doing that in February when I go to Disneyland.
